In the kitchen with Kelley: Slow cooker pork tenderloin
Pork tenderloin is one of my favorite meats to cook. It’s tender, delicious and not at all difficult to prepare. This particular dish is simple, yet elegant. I serve it with a salad and over mashed potatoes.
If you’re worried that it isn’t healthy because it’s pork, don’t be. Pork tenderloin is good for you. The Atlanta Journal-Constitution reported:
Pork, which often gets overlooked as a leaner entree possibility, has officially joined the list.
Pork tenderloin is now certified with the American Heart Association’s “Heart Check” mark, indicating it qualifies as an extra-lean, heart-healthy protein.
In fact, ounce for ounce, pork tenderloin is as lean as a skinless chicken breast. A 3-ounce portion of pork tenderloin contains less than 3 grams of fat and 120 calories. Isn’t it great when you can please desire for flavor and good health with the same meal?
